MIP was obtained by cross-linking DEHP and DBP with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM). FTIR, SEM-EDS, UV-Vis and SAA were used to determine properties of polymers (MIP_DEHP, MIP_DBP). The obtained materials were characterized by a mesoporous structure with small, uniform, and porous grains. The surface area and total pore volume of MIP_DEHP were more than twice smaller than MIP_DBP, with a slightly larger pore diameter. Lower C content may indicate the formation of MIP_DEHP and MIP_DBP. The FTIR method confirmed the presence of functional groups –CH, –CO, –C=C and –C=O. The adsorption capacity of MIP_DEHP and MIP_DBP was 0.68 mg/g and 1.06 mg/g, respectively, and was consistent with the Freundlich isothermal adsorption model. ## Keywords - Dibutyl phthalate - Phthalate - Adsorption - Plasticizer - Freundlich equation - Polymerization - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy - Methacrylate - Nuclear chemistry - Chemistry - Polymer - Molecularly imprinted polymer - Methyl methacrylate - Precipitation polymerization - Polymer chemistry - Chromatography - Chemical engineering - Radical polymerization - Organic chemistry - Selectivity - Engineering - Catalysis --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
